Qiao Haidong was both shocked and enraged. As he was being forcibly dragged out of the Lu family home, he cursed at Qiao Yin, “You ungrateful child, I raised you for nothing. You are a white-eyed wolf, holding onto that formula for dear life while disregarding whether I live or die. You heartless, unfeeling creature!” Qiao Yin laughed in anger: “Did you raise me? Before my mother died, she was the one taking care of me. After she passed away, it was my grandmother!” “When I fell sick, it was my grandmother who nurtured me back to health. When I had to go to school, it was my grandmother who sent and fetched me. Even my tuition fees and living expenses were paid by her. Did you contribute any money or effort? Not at all!”

“Ever since you married a stepmother for me, you’ve never taken care of me! Even when I return home for a visit, you find me annoying and are always eager to chase me away!”

Qiao Haidong felt no shame or guilt. He argued back loudly, “I now have a son, don’t I? Of course, I have to focus my energy on him!”

“Your brother is the one who will carry on the Qiao family lineage. You will eventually get married and leave. A daughter who leaves home is like water thrown out – no benefit no matter how much you nurture her!”

“I indeed had great foresight. Now that our family has encountered difficulties, you remain apathetic. Daughters can’t be relied upon; they will never compare to a son!”

Qiao Yin thought that if she kept arguing with him, she might die of anger, “Fine, you like sons, let your son repay your debts. Don’t find me anymore! I won’t be involved!”

After finishing her words, she directly flagged down a taxi and left.

Qiao Haidong stood where he was, cursing her heartily to vent his anger. Then, he thought a bit and turned around to re-enter the Lu household.

He wanted to continue the discussion with Madam Lu about the price of the secret formula, which was interrupted by Qiao Yin earlier.

The taxi stopped before the Shengling Corporation building, Qiao Yin got off and walked straight in.

Lu Lingche was somewhat surprised to see her. Seeing the blood still oozing from her forehead, he couldn’t help but frown, “What happened to you?”

Qiao Yin didn’t answer but asked coldly, “Lu Lingche, who gave you that wound on your head?”

“Didn’t I tell you it was a self-inflicted bump?”

“I asked who hit you!!”

“Qiao Yin, are you itching for a fight? Why are you shouting? I have a ton of problems waiting to be dealt with. If there’s nothing, you better leave, don’t act crazy here and delay my work!”

“Your mother said that she hit me on the head to avenge the injury on your head because she thought that I was the one who did it to you. Of course, she was also mad because I said something that offended her. But, Lu Lingche, why didn’t you clear things up with her? Does your injury have anything to do with me? Why should I take the blame?”

Lu Lingche was taken aback, “My mother hit you?”

“She hit me with a teacup.”

“Didn’t you dodge it when she was activating her teacup attack? Why is it so common to use a teacup as a weapon?”

“Who else?”

“Grandmother, she is the one who hit my head with a teacup. It was that night when she called you for dinner. After you left, she called me back again. She hit me out of anger for you. Now tell me, do you have anything to do with this?”

Qiao Yin fell silent for a while before nodding, “Then there is some connection.”

“As long as you understand.”

“But you deserved it. You brought it upon yourself. Otherwise, grandmother wouldn’t have lifted her hand.”

Lu Lingche felt so angry that his veins were popping out on his forehead, but he eventually controlled his emotions, “I have a lot of work today, you should go to the hospital to get your wound treated. Your wound is deep, it could easily get infected.”

Qiao Yin nodded subconsciously, “Okay.”

Only after leaving Lu Lingche’s office did she realize – she was again following his suggestions as she had done in the past.

Custom is indeed a terrifying thing.

For the past five years, she had always listened to him, obedience almost etched into her bones. It seemed it would take a considerable amount of time to change this instinct.

But that was okay, she had plenty of time now.

The first step of change was to get the one million US dollars that Shengling Corporation owed her!

Regardless of whether Lu Lingche would lose face, she could not discard her labor’s result which she had spent two sleepless nights on..
